Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xsk: tighten UMEM headroom validation to account for tailroom and min frame
The current headroom validation in xdp_umem_reg() could leave us with
insufficient space dedicated to even receive minimum-sized ethernet
frame. Furthermore if multi-buffer would come to play then
skb_shared_info stored at the end of XSK frame would be corrupted.
HW typically works with 128-aligned sizes so let us provide this value
as bare minimum.
Multi-buffer setting is known later in the configuration process so
besides accounting for 128 bytes, let us also take care of tailroom space
upfront.
